The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. This will be the fourth matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC has won two of the previous three games. Last time, OKC went to Portland to get a win on Nov. 30.
The Thunder (28-5) avoided an upset with a 140-129 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an efficient 39 points and six assists as OKC's league-best defense continues to see some recent leakage.
